[thelist] Javascript and breaking within strings

[Jay Blanchard]

[snip]
Can you make a multiline block of text a string variable, without 
breaking it up?

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO (gives me a "unterminated string literal"
error):
theVar = "Line 1 text<br>
Line 2 text<br>
Line 3<br>";

WHAT I AM FORCED TO DO:
theVar = "Line 1 text<br>";
theVar += "Line 2 text<br>";
theVar += "Line 3 text<br>";

Thanks so much for any clarification.

You can use a backslash IIRC

theVar = "Line 1 text<br>\
Line 2 text<br>\
Line 3<br>";
